1 A Wave for Friends — Cuban refugees waved to Cuban exiles on
shore as their coast guard cutter approached Key West last fall.
Such emotional scenes occurred frequently after Castro announced
his “open door’’ policy, allowing certain groups of Cubans to leave
his dictatorship.

2 Pioneer in Space — Astronaut Edward White stepped from his Gemini
IV space capsule and into the void of space last June. Maj. James
McDivitt, his companion on a 3'/2-day orbital flight, had to coax
White back into the capsule after he had traveled 20 minutes sus-
pended from Gemini IV. Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad were
the next space twins to orbit the earth. They completed their 8-day
flight in Gemini V during August.

3 Medicare Bill Signed — President Johnson signed the Medicare Bill
into law July 30 with former President Truman at his side. Witness-
ing the event that had far-reaching effects on Social Security benefits
for the elderly were (left to right) Lady Bird Johnson, Vice President
Humphrey and Bess Truman. The ceremony was held in Truman
Library in Independence, Mo.

4 Temporary Mood — Dodgers Manager Walter Alston's mood of de-
jection after the Minnesota Twins won the sixth World Series game
did not last long. The Dodgers emerged victorious in the 7th game
and captured the pennant.

5 Double Space Spectacular — Astronauts Wally Schirra and Tom
Staflbrd got this view of the Gemini 7 spaceship December 15 while
traveling in their Gemini 6 craft for their historic rendezvous adven-
ture. Schirra and Stafford rode their red-hot craft back to earth the
following day, but Gemini 7 completed a 14-day mission before its
re-entry. Making the longest and most significant voyage in space in
Gemini 7 were Prank Borman and James Lovell, Jr.

6 Plea for Peace — Pope Paul VI stood before the United Nations
General Assembly in New York on October 4 to deliver his plea for

. world peace. His unprecedented, one-day visit in the U.S. was the

I culmination of plans by men of all faiths.

I 7 After Surgery — President Johnson was photographed in a reclining

chair at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after his gall bladder op-
,1 eration on October 8. He conducted the work of his office from his

hospital room and his Texas ranch during his recuperation.

8 Proud Student — Charles Craig, 19-year-old freshman at Iowa uni-
versity, demonstrated his criticism of draft-card burning incidents by
displaying his draft card on his jacket with the note: “I’m a draft
card carrying American and proud of it.” Our role in the Vietnamese
war sparked the incidents.

9 Blackout — The glittering metropolis of New York City was thrust

^ into darkness on November 9 by a massive power failure affecting

hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. City residents and
I commuters were stranded in offices, railroad and subway stations for

; hours before service was restored. The crippling condition was

; caused by a faulty relay at a Canadian generating station near

I Niagara Falls.

10 New Ambassador — Arthur Goldberg was named U.S. Ambassador

1 to the United Nations by the President after the death of Ambassa-

; dor Adlai Stevenson on July 14 in London. Goldberg was secretary

of labor under President Kennedy and a U.S. Supreme Gourt Justice
when named to the U.N. post.

1 1 Startling Fashions — Bold and contrasting blocks of color were the
youthful fashion note of 1965. The eye-catching designs even ex-
tended the length of campus stockings worn with the costumes,
i 1 2 Royalty on Four — Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord

Snowdon, arrived in New York on November 4 for a whirlwind tour
of the U.S. During their visit, they took time out for fun-filled activi-
ties such as a ride on a cable car in Frisco and gala parties in Holly-
wood and the nation’s capital.

TAPORAPIAN

Tappahannock High School

Tappahannock, Virginia

1966

What Is THS?

The gigantic structure of brick, wood, and con-
crete is only a front for the real, hidden symbolism
of Tappahannock High School. It is a maize of
classrooms, equipment rooms, and corridors. But
this represents only a material picture of THS.

Actually, behind the daily routine of boring
classes, noisy halls, and crowded lunchrooms are
the things that make a person glad that he's a
"Warrior. " Beyond the daily grind of classwork are
the tears, sweat, heartache, joy, victory, defeat,
and toil that make our school "the best. "

The real THS is more than it appears to be at
first glance. Every particle of building matter, be
it a splinter of wood, a worn desk, or a concrete
wall, holds vast memories, secrets, and feelings of
the students. The rafters in the gym peal out the
joys of squad B defeating squad A; the misery of a
forward missing a free shot with the score tied; the
accomplished feeling of being able to do a back-
ward roll on the balance beam. Each pane of glass
in the classroom reflects the agonies of proving an
impossible theorem; the satisfaction of having suc-
cessfully completed an experiment; the sadness of
failing a typing test. The slab of tile in the audi-
torium will forever hold the feelings of the nervous
candidate running for S. C. A. ; the glee of your
class being chosen the king class; the solemness of
Largo, and when a senior is suddenly gripped by the
thought, "I am now ending the first chapter of my
life. I will never walk these halls again. "

Each brick in THS might stand for the personality
of one student who has, is, and will be spending five
or more years in these buildings. These bricks,
molded together, become a solid, staunch, and
powerful structure, indestructable to all.

This Is THS.

Bigger and Better Tapor apian

Every year at THS a group of students has the arduous task of pre-
paring a school yearbook. The purpose of such a yearbook staff is to
compose through picture and word a year's activities at Tappahannock
High School. It is the desire of this year's staff that the 1966 Tapora-
pian will be a treasury of memories --of classes, teachers, picnics,
plays, trips, exams, forensics, winning teams, friends -- memories
that bring both tears and laughter.

As editor, I would especially like to thank the members of my
staff for their many endless hours of work; Larry Lennon and Pat
Emery for their roving photography; Mr. Robertson, our sponsor, and
Mr. Watson, the American Yearbook Company representative, for
their advice and assistance; the faculty for their patience and co-
operation; the purchasers and advertisers for their support; and you,
the students of THS, for making all of our efforts both possible and
worthwhile.

We of the yearbook staff congratulate the Class of '66 for their
many achievements at THS. We commend them for the friendly and
cooperative spirit they have shown throughout their five years here.

We pray that you, the students of the present, as well as those of the
past and future, will always cherish the innumerable gifts that our
school has given you and that you will fulfill the goals that this
school has instilled in your minds and hearts. You are the evidence of
the high standards of Tappahannock High School. May you continue
to live a life worthy of these standards.

Mary Jane Brizendine
Editor

Captain Winston, you have now completed your sixtli year here at Tappahannock
High School, and your high morals and gentleman-like ways have instilled in us
a lifetime of respect. You have made a sound impression on us in the manner in
which you never shirk your responsibility whether large or small. You have shown a
warm, human interest in all tlie students and their problems. You have guided us
tlirough many classes from which we gained much, but more important you have
given us an example of a gentleman we would like to follow. In tliese classes, we
have had the opportunity not only to learn the subject matter, but a wide variety of
information. Our only wish as tire seniors of 1966 is that we could pay you. Captain
Winston, some higher reward than tliis humble dedication.

ADMINISTRATION

Principal Charges Seniors

Congratulations Seniors . , , for achieving one of the goals you
have set for yourself , . . graduation from high school. The cost has
been and still is high. In dollars alone, several thousand; in time
alone, over twelve thousand hours, or twelve years; in effort, only
you know how much. The cost in time, effort care and concern of
your parents and teachers can only be estimated.

The big question is: Has it been worth it? The answer to this
question can be, will be and must be given by you alone. It will be
given in terms of your achievement, your service and your citizenship.
It will be in terms of your solutions to problems of today and tomorrow
that are and will be found in your community, your state, your
nation and your world.

Some of you will begin to pay this debt of time, money and effort
very soon. Others will take longer but the final measure is whether
you have left the world a better place because you have lived in it.

As you seek to pay this debt to life remember to turn good into
evil is to destroy all, but when you turn evil into good, you work
hand in hand with God,

School Board Adds Two New Members

The school board, composed of representatives elected from each
district of the county, is a most important body. It's main purpose
is to provide the county with a more efficient school system. To
carry out their objective, the board members thoughtfully make out
the school budget, dispurse funds for the buildings and furnishings and
hire and dismiss teachers on the superintendent's recommendation.
The Essex County School Board plays a major role in the organization
and operation of Tappahannock High School.

Class of ’66

Only five years ago, this Senior Class entered high school. As Junior Freshmen, the
climb toward becoming a Senior seemed unbelievably long. Now, looking back over
the past five years, the climb seems to have taken no time at all. It doesn't seem
possible that we will soon be graduates, leaving behind us our old familiar world for
a new way of life, full of responsibilities and challenges.

While students at Tappahannock High School, our teachers have, no doubt, at
times wanted to shoot us; other classes have occasionally hated us with a passion; and
we ourselves have had arguments and disagreements within our class. But all of us must
admit that high school and life would be terribly boring if there weren't an occasional
squabble for everyone to discuss.

In years to come, as we remember our school days, we won't remember the dif-
ficulties we had getting term papers finished on time or the geometry problems that
simply could not be solved. We will remember, instead, the fun and good times we
shared together. These days at THS have been, for the most part, happy ones, but,
as the cliche goes, "All good tilings must end. " We are almost ready to go out into
tlie world and face the unknown. While we are unsure of what is to come, we are at the
same time eager. We look forward witli anticipation to what tlie future holds for us.

Perform in '‘The Barretts of Wimpole Street”

The "London Look" was brought to THS this year by a troop of very dramatic young
actors when the senior class presented its annual senior play. This year for the first
time in many years the senior play was a drama instead of a comedy. With a very
professional touch, Mrs. Spindle, the director, and the seniors presented "The Barretts
of Wimpole Street, " which is the story of the love affair of Robert Browning and
Elizabeth Barrett. With a relentless spirit, the senior class worked long and hard mak-
ing props and learning lines, and upon Friday night. May 13, the play was a tremendous
success. The audience was swept back into the Eighteenth Century with the authenticity
of the beautiful costumes and stage setting. The acting for the group of amateurs was
unbelievably professional. The play, "The Barretts of Wimpole Street, " was another
victory for the seniors and Tappahannock High School.

Homecoming, Turn About Day, Welfare

The 1965-66 Student Co-operative Association of Tappahannock High School, through the combined efforts
of its officers, student council members, advisors, committees, and student body members, has worked hard
to make this year's S.C.A. a useful and productive organization. The executive committee members each
contributed hard work and sincere efforts in trying to make the 1965-66 student government at Tappahannock
High School, the most effective yet.

The yearly objectives have stressed working together: the welfare activities, the king class projects, social
functions, improvement of the student council and honor council, and PTA-SCA cooperation.

While its accomplishments are not numerous, the goals which were attained are successful achievements,
indicative of the time and effort which were put into them.

As you look through this annual you will, no doubt, remember many, if not all, of the events listed here.

In looking through this past year, we hope you will learn from our experiences recorded on these pages and
put them to good use in the future.

organization is limited to students of French in their second and third
year.

Active in our school framework, the club has presented a program
for our assembly. Also, it has sponsored a trip to Brook's Bank, the
home of Mrs. Enos Richardson, for its members. Mrs. Richardson,
who frequently visits France, entertained the members by relating the
customs and idiosyncrosies of the French populace. The president of
Le Cercle Francais is Peyton Barton.

Future Teachers of America
Chartered at T.H.S.

During April, Teaching Career Month, the faculty gained some
new faces when the Future Teachers of America members became
student teachers in elementary school. This gave the students a
chance to sample teaching as a career.

Other activities included college visitations and plans for enlarg-
ing the over all program for the coming year.

S. Never Without a Song

This year's Chorus has been one of the
best in the history of the School. Each stu-
dent is a talented performer in himself.

Our director, Mr. Trewett, has helped
them mature and develope their voices so
that together they make one of the best
chorus sounds in the State.

The T.H.S. Band Marches On

Next year the beginner band will be moving up and THS is looking
for an even greater band. Although our band is small it is a group of
great musicians, who have accomplished much as a marching and
concert band. Mr. Trevvett and the band have worked hard with
marvelous results providing us with varied and most enjoyable music.
The Christmas concert and the spring concert were both two of the
most succe-ssful in the history of the band.

THS

Majorettes Go to Camp

In the summer of 1965 the THS majorettes, Jane
Brooks, Linda Hundley, Pamela Passagaluppi, Linda
Crowe, Glenda Wilkerson, and Connie Dawson went
to camp at the College of William and Mary. There
were two liundred girls and boys from many schools
there. There was swimming, dancing and parties
but when practice time came there was hard work.
This trip to camp has made our majorettes one of
the best groups in this district.

ATHLETICS

Warriors Beat Arch-Rival Caroline,

Late summer, 1965, the T.H.S. athletic field once again became alive with foot-
balls flying and tackling dummies popping. Although it was predicted the Warriors
would have a poor season due to the loss of twelve of last year's lettermen, the team
fought their way to share the district championship.

Warriors who saw first-string duty were: Tri-Captains -- Peyton Barton, Richard
Balderson and Peel Dillard -- Kenny Stevens, Stan Williams, Johnny Fogg, Tommy
Chinault, Jimmy Guess, Johnny Loving, William Shelhorse, Bobby Durham, and Dale
Thomas. Others who saw active duty were Jimmy Williams, Ed Kirk, Woody Johnson,
John Hopkins, and Billy French.

The Warriors were stunned at the beginning of the season after Lancaster took them
by a score of 7 to 6, but came back strong against King George, winning by 28 to 6.
New Kent and Rappahannock fell moderately easily. Then Caroline came, the only
team that had beaten Tappahannock the year before and the Warriors eased by, 6-0.
W.&L. proved to be an easy game as the score was 40-13. The next opponents. West
Point, shocked the Warriors as the Pointers won, 14-0. The Warriors' last game which
they needed to tie for first place was with Northumberland. The Warriors rolled, 18-0,
placing them in a championship tie with Caroline.

The 1965 team proved to be one that was strong, able, and co-operative. If the
succeeding football teams at T.H.S. are as outstanding as the 1965 one, Tappahannock
High will be recognized for its atlrletic ability for many years to come.

Boys Reach Tournament

The THS 1965-1966 basketball season opened with many new faces on the team, and due to the lack of ex-
perience the Warriors had a slow year. The team lost their first four games and were very despondent. The fifth
game found the Warriors victorious over Marriott with a score of 56-41. Then they lost to Lancaster but won
over Rappahannock 39-33. After losing to Lancaster again the Warriors were triumphant over West Point, 65-
54. Even though they won only three games the Warriors reached the tournaments. In a thrilling slow-down
game they lost to Washington and Lee by a score of 36-13. The two captains Peyton Barton and David
Passagaluppi were good leaders and carried the team in fine form.

Warriors in Action

After a magnificent start, the T.H.S. girls' basketball team disappointed spectators and friends and
destroyed their tournament chances by 3 successive losses at the end of the season. Patricia Balderson
led the scoring with a total of 64 points, followed by other forwards Nancy Hammond with 29 points,
Faye Delano with 38 points, and roving guard Pete Fogg with 59 points. These first string girls were
supported on the bench by Jennie Lou Carpenter, Martha Wachsmuth, Hannah Nettles, Mary Golden,
Beulah Loving, Sandra Luttrell, and Mary Ann Rathje. Guards Pete Fogg, Anne Beazley, and Linda
Minor, made up the defense, backed up by Bonnie Elliott, Judy Andrews, Sarah Parrish, and Becky
Beazley. The fine spirit of managers Nancy Davis and Becky Elliott made the team complete.

Even though they didn't reach the tournament, the girls banded together and worked like a true
team. Under the encouragement and coaching of Mrs. McCloskey and the moral support and generous
help on the side from Mr. Ashton, this team displayed the skills and sportsmanship that Tappahannock
High School should be proud of.

Girls In Action

Largest J. V. Team

This year's Junior Varsity Basketball team was the biggest in Tappahannock High
School history, comprising students from the, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. The
starting lineup consisted of Ed Kirk, guard; Mike Williams, forward; Glen Ransome,
forward; Tommy Blackwell, center; and Donald Bareford, guard. In the latter part of
the season Billy French, guard, and Carl Thompson, forward, freshmen from the
varsity team, played in several games.

Altliough the Jayvees got off to a slow start with few victories, they later proved
themselves a team to be reckoned with, notably when they trounced the Caroline
team the last game of the season.

The Jayvees are grateful for the excellent coaching and support given by Coach
Ashton and Peyton Motley.

Gymnastics Club Performs for PTA

The Gymnastics Club was started this year in response to a large number of girls
showing interest in doing modern dance and balance beam work. The club is an
outgrowth of last year's demonstrations to the PTA and high school assembly.

The club meets once a week and consists of girls who are interested and talented
in creative work. The hidden talents of the girls of THS are brought forth in their
creations done in modern dance, balance beam, and tumbling. The club is proud of
the fine work done by this year's eighth graders.

The Gymnastics Club is under the leadership of Ann Lee Hite, free exercises and
modern dance; Nancy Hammond, balance beam; and Linda Lee Minor, tumbling.
Our guidance director is Mrs. McCloskey, who has given us the encouragement to
continue forward and to accepts new challenges ahead.

Warriors Capture Second Place in District

The Baseball season started well this year with four straight victories without a defeat. Then W & L beat
the Warriors and this proved to be the declining factor for the district championship. When the season was over,
Tappahannock had a 7-1 record and were holders of the 2nd place title.

At the bat, Peyton Barton had the highest batting average and also pitched well in nearly every game.

Gary Ball, Richard Balderson, Johnny Fogg, John Loving, Bland Motley, Stan Williams, Mike Williams,

Jimmy Williams, Woody Johnson, Marshall Haney, Peel Dillard, Donald Ray Bareford and Bobby Durham also
helped at the plate. Since there were eight seniors on the team, this year's reserves will have their work cut
out for them.

Senior Players

THS Softball Amazing 1-6 Record

The softball team of '66 had an amazing record of 1-6, one win and six losses.

The girls strained themselves to represent Tappahannock High as the best sportsmen
at each game whether we won or lost. We had the finest morale boosters in the whole
district, thanks to Tucker Spindle, Arlene Luttrell, and of course, the' boys' team.

The team bids a fond farewell to its seniors, Sally Akers, Faye Delano, Betty
Mae Crowe, and its faithful captain, Patricia Balderson. Remaining teammates:

Becky Beazley and Phyllis Davis -- pitchers; Bonnie Elliott, Bonnie Johnson, Theresa
Hilton, Hannah Nettle -- infielders; and Linda Hicks, Margaret Harmon, Lin Bare-
ford, Sandra Luttrell, Nancy Davis, Marguerite Taliaferro, Sara Parrish -- outfielders.

The gratitude the team owes to Mrs. Mac cannot be expressed in words. Her constant
devotion and straightforward help urged the team through the season, despite the dis-
couraging losses. From our lost games, however, we gained experience, skill, wis-
dom and found new friendships among ourselves and our opponents.

The remaining team looks forward to the '67 season with inspiration and a new
valor to overcome our competitors with the new skill and a keener sense of abilities.

With much team spirit and hard work, the Warrior girls went all the way to the top in
district track competition on the Rappahannock High School track. Placing well in nearly all
events, it was an easy victory with 31 points for Tappahannock. Rappahannock was second with
24 1/3 points.

Judy Andrews and Frances Fogg placed second and fourth respectively in the high jump
scoring the first four points of tlie meet for the Warriors. Mary Ann Rathje and Sally Akers then
chalked up 6 more in broad jump with Rathje placing first. This put Tappahannock in the lead
with 10 points. In the 100 yd. hurdles, the 100 yd. dash, and the 60 yd. dash, the Warriors
found easy firsts, bringing in 15 more points with Andrews in the hurdles and Ratlije in the
dashes. Ellen Motley was fourth in the 100 yd. dash and Ella Dunn held Tappahannock's only
third in the 440. The 880 yd. relay team of Akers, Andrews, Dunn and Motley came in second
to Rappahannock.

It was only with the cooperation of all members of the team and tlie efforts of the coach,
Mrs. McCloskey, that the Warrior girls were able to clinch the district title.

ACTIVITIES

Six THS Students Attend
Boys’ and Girls’ State ’65

Again in the summer of 1965, Boys' and Girls' State, sponsored by the American
Legion and the American Legion Ladies' Auxiliary, were held on separate state
campuses -- Girls' State at Radford Gollege and Boys' State at the Gollege of William
and Mary. The six THS students heard speeches from such outstanding men as Gongress-
man William Jennings, Bryan Dorn and the then Lt. Gov. Mills Godwin. These stu-
dents were able to take part in a government which they formed through two mythical
political parties. At the end of the 1965 sessions of Boys' and Girls' State, six people
returned to Tappahannock with a renewed awareness of the importance America plays
in their lives and their responsibility as citizens to preserve American ideals for future
generations.

Third Annual Homecoming,

October 29-30, Tappahannock sponsored its
Third Annual Homecoming. Co-Chairmen Anne
Beazley and Archie Sutton worked with various
committee chairmen to get plans underway. A
week before the event, THS student body elected
girls to represent their respective classes and a
queen was chosen from three Senior princesses. The
princesses were star attractions in the parade,
numbering over thirty units. The football team
played up to par and took Washington and Lee,
40-13. The high-light of the game was centered
upon the half-time activities and the crowning of
the queen, Nancy Hammond. The fans were
entertained also by viewing the winning floats
and the queen and her court.

Everyone then began looking forward to the
main attraction of the weekend, the Homecoming
Ball, held on Saturday night in the cafeteria. The
cafeteria, decorated in autumn colors, gave an
atmosphere of "Indian Summer", as everyone
danced to the music of the Barracudas.

"And the Queen -- Miss Nancy Hammond!"

T.H.S. princesses-elect: Kitty Hammond, Bonnie Johnson, Beth
Durham, Brooke Kriete, Sally Akers, Nancy Hammond, Ann Lee Hite.

number of alumni, turned out for the

A tiny bunkhouse was the scene of our Jr. -Sr.
Banquet. Eating flapjacks and drinking firewater
served by "Granny" and her "cowboys", everyone
enjoyed his holiday out in the WILD WEST. Fol-
lowing, the Seniors were given their branding irons
and the Juniors were ringed.

"Atlantis, " the lost continent, was the romantic
setting for the prom. With the fish, seaweed, and
deep blue ocean overhead, the air seemed quite
mystical. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music
of the Dymanic Downbeats.

The Curtain Falls On Another Year At THS

World News — 1965

1 Humanitarian Dies — Dr. Albert Schweitzer died in September at
Lambarene, his primitive hospital at the African jungle outpost of
Gabon. The famed physician, who reached his 90th birthday in
January, worked most of his life to relieve the suffering of jungle
natives.

2 Queen Speaks — Queen Elizabeth II dedicated the John F. Kennedy
memorial at Runnymede, England on May 14. Mrs. Kennedy is
seated to the left and Prince Philip to the right of the queen. Carolyn
Kennedy is seated between the queen and her mother, and Sen.
Robert Kennedy stands behind Mrs. Kennedy.

3 Miss Universe — The reigning queen of beauty in the universe dur-
ing the year was a representative from Thailand.

4 Bosch Returns — Former Dominican Republic President Juan Bosch
was vehement in his address at a rally September 25, shortly after
his return to Santo Domingo.

5 Wins in Run-Off— deGaulle polled 55.2 per cent of the vote
in a run-off election against Francois Mitterrandon December 19.
The vote gave DeGaulle the French presidency for another 7 years,
but the strength of the Socialist-Communistic candidate corroded the
popularity of the 71 -year-old president..

6 Agrees to Cease-Fire — Pakistani Foreign Minister Zulfikar Bhutto
(right) agreed in the U.N. Security Council on September 22 to ac-
cept the Council’s cease-fire order in the undeclared war between
Pakistan and India. Pakistan’s announcement came after India had
agreed to the order.

7 Abortive Coup Fails — Indonesian President Sukarno was toppled
from power for a brief 20 hours last fall. He gestured at a cabinet

meeting on October 6 during his first public appearance after the
coup, which seriously shook his one-man rule.

8 Soviet Winner — Russian author Mikhail Sholokhov was vacationing
in the Ural region on October 18 when he heard he had been
awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for Literature. The December award
ceremony was held in Stockholm.

9 Return to Desolation — Hundreds of families returned to the wreckage
of their homes, destroyed by eruption of Taal volcano, south of Ma-
nila, on September 28. Volcanic ash covered a six-mile-square area.
The death toll was estimated at 500.

10 Price of War — The number of casualties increased as the U.S.
stepped up its military action in Vietnam. American advisors took
part in many helicopter missions, carrying wounded soldiers, both
Vietnamese and American, to copters on makeshift litters for evac-
uation to Saigon.

1 1 Reason to Celebrate — Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany
waved to a cheering crowd in Bonn after his Christian Democrats
surged to victory in the September 19 parliamentary elections. Mayor
Willy Brandt’s Social Democrats suffered defeat in the voting.

1 2 Colonial Rule Shaken — Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith broadcast a
proclamation of sovereign independence for Rhodesia on November
11. The split from Britain was made in an attempt to insure a white
minority rule of the African colony. It was the first such move against
Britain since the American colonies broke away in 1776. Britain re-
taliated swiftly and took the problem to the U.N. Security Council,
which asked all nations to enforce an oil embargo against the Afri-
can colony.
